After one week I felt so much stronger and more impressively my diarrhea ended! I had ONE bowel movement in the morning and I began living my life again. I felt great!...

Here is my story. I had just started a new career in nursing working the night shift. I was not able to adjust to sleeping during the day and this caused a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety. I began to have abdominal pain that became progressively worse. After two months the pain was excruciating and I visited the hospital ER three times in a two week period. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in late June, 2011. The GI doctor informed that there was nothing I could do to prevent repeat flare-ups. He gave me a prescription of mesalamine (Lialda, 3 pills each morning ) and told me to take them for the rest of my life. He also said, if the Lialda doesn't work then he would prescribe steroids and infusions of Remicade and if those failed he was willing to remove my colon.

As a person who has always been very active, eaten right and taken very good care of my health this news did not set well with me. I searched the internet for natural remedies to heal colitis and ordered various programs and books online but for one reason or another I knew in my gut that they weren't right for me. The following 6 weeks were pure hell, the Lialda was not really working, I dreaded every meal, my weight was plummeting and worse of all I did not leave the house because I was afraid to be away from a toilet.

Through all of my online searches I never came across anything by Jini. Luckily, a friend knew of another neighbor with UC who was following the IBD Remission Diet. This person loaned me "Listen to your Gut" and "The IBD Remission Diet" books. THIS SAVED MY LIFE! I cannot say enough about Jini, the books and the products (especially the Absorb shakes). After reading 35 pages of "Listen to your Gut", I ordered my own copies and began the elemental diet.

I followed everything Jini recommended and took the Absorb shakes for 5 weeks. The shakes were easy to prepare and tasted good so it was easy to stick to the program. After one week I felt so much stronger and more impressively my diarrhea ended! I had ONE bowel movement in the morning and I began living my life again. I felt great!

As I write this (4 months after being diagnosed) I had to look at my old prescription bottle to remember the drug name and I had to look at the bottles of supplements I was adding to my shakes. You know why? Because my UC is not consuming my life anymore. I have healed myself with Jini's help. Jini, I cannot thank you enough for all your research and dedication to helping those with IBD issues. I am now on the maintenance phase and know this is something that I can do for the rest of my life because it feels right and it works.

For all the people out there who are suffering from IBD, this is a product you must try. I know this may sound like another gimmick but it's not. This really worked for me and having my health back is priceless! Thank You.

It has been a few months now, and our daughter is thriving. People can’t believe the change in her. Family, friends, and neighbors, all ask what changed. A few months ago our daughter was a pale, exhausted wisp of a girl, and now she can outrun the fastest children in the neighborhood...

About a year ago our seven year old daughter became very ill. She had severe gastrointestinal issues, was suffering from malabsorption, and was very lethargic. We took her to pediatricians, naturopaths and finally a pediatric gastroenterologist who diagnosed her with Crohn’s disease.We were told that our daughter had a stricture and that because of her inability to absorb nutrients and gain weight she was in serious danger. Blood work showed that she was severely anemic, had high inflammation levels, and was deficient in just about all minerals and vitamins. We had suspected this because for months, despite being fed healthy food and high quality vitamins, she would just lie on the couch or sit in our laps, day after day. She was no longer able to keep up with her friends, run around, swim or play.

The gastroenterologist wanted to put our daughter or Remicade effective immediately. She told us that our daughter would need to be on Remicade for the rest of her life. When we researched Remicade, we realized that this was not the life we wanted for our child. We felt there had to be a better way; a way to get her gastrointestinal issues under control without destroying her immune system and the quality of her life. So we began researching, and that is when we stumbled on Jini Patel’s book, The IBD Remission Diet. Immediately we ordered copies of The IBD Remission Diet and Listen to Your Gut. We read them cover to cover and decided that we would put our daughter on Jini’s elemental diet immediately. The gastroenterologist was against it – she was really pushing the drugs – but we thought we owed it to our daughter to try a less invasive method of healing first. We reasoned that the drugs would still be there later if we needed them, so why not exhaust safer options first? Jini’s diet made sense to us, as it seemed that it was very nutritious. We decided that if we tried the IBD remission diet, the worst that could happen was that our daughter would not get better, but she would not be hurt in any way. The best that could happen was that perhaps we could avoid Remicade altogether.

So we began with three weeks on Jini’s elemental diet. Our daughter subsisted solely on the Absorb Plus shakes, supplements recommended by Jini, and the few legal items that Jini suggests, such as chicken broth, gummy bears, ice pops and sticks of gum. The change in our daughter was quick and drastic. First her pain disappeared. Then her energy levels went up. Then she began to gain weight. Her color returned, her smile returned, and much to our relief, her next round of blood work showed improvement. After the three weeks were over, we gradually began to add solid food back into her diet. We were careful only to feed her nutritious, Crohn’s friendly food - no gluten, no dairy, and mostly organic non processed foods. At first she ate one solid meal a day, and then two. But always, we kept her on the shakes, at least one or two per day, and the additional healing supplements that Jini recommends.

It has been a few months now, and our daughter is thriving. People can’t believe the change in her. Family, friends, and neighbors, all ask what changed. A few months ago our daughter was a pale, exhausted wisp of a girl, and now she can outrun the fastest children in the neighborhood. She continues to drink shakes for half to two thirds of her caloric intake, and she continues to maintain (and sometimes gain) weight. She has tons of energy, and her blood work shows consistent improvement in iron levels, inflammation levels, and levels of other vitamins and minerals. Many blood markers, which were previously out of range, are returning to normal. Our gastroenterologist is astounded and has asked for the name of the shakes our daughter is on, which we gave her. I would not be surprised if she is now recommending Jini’s shakes to her other patients.

We are very thankful to Jini Patel, to Justin Wade, and to everyone in the Absorb Plus family. Without these shakes, I really do not want to imagine the state our daughter might be in.

Having searched the Web for information for treatment, I came across Jini Patel Thompson's book, the IBD Remission Diet, which I bought. As a result, she gained 2 kg (4.5 lbs) in 5 days since she started and her doctor is pleased with her progress and decided to reduce her steroid intake to a much less aggressive dosage....

"I write to say that I am very happy that I managed to find a very good dietary supplement for my mother. She was diagnosed as suffering from ulcerative colitis after loosing 39 pounds in 9 months, (she only weighed about 58kg before) not being able to eat much and had a mild diarrhea. I live in Cambridge, UK, and my mother is in Hong Kong.

Having searched the Web for information for treatment, I came across Jini Patel Thompson's book, the IBD Remission Diet, which I bought. I was impressed in what she claimed and decided to get my mother to try the dietary method in controlling her disease. When I got to Hong Kong, her doctor already put her on steroid and an anti-inflammatory drug. In the past two months she only managed to gain back 2 kg in weight and was feeling very frustrated and worried.

I decided to let her keep on with her steroid treatment as she seems to be responding to the drug, but use Absorb Plus as a supplementary diet to get her to gain weight. Using the calories chart, which I found extremely useful, I got my mother drinking three shakes per day with the aim of having her gaining a pound every 2 days. Also, I managed to convince her that she also needs a bit more food that is rich in carbohydrates.

As a result, she gained 2 kg in 5 days since she started and her doctor is pleased with her progress and decided to reduce her steroid intake to a much less aggressive dosage. We decided to keep her on Absorb Plus until she has fully recovered the weight that she lost and then reduce the intake to function as a maintenance diet.

In addition, I am very impressed with the professionalism of the service. As I can only stay in Hong Kong for a relatively short period of time. The company managed to deliver the goods to me in time so that I can monitor the progress of my mother with the diet before I leave. I am grateful for your help."

I had read Jini's book "The IBD Remission Diet" I spoke with my Doctor about drinking Absorb Plus instead of steroids, and he was all for it. It was amazing. During the 2 weeks on Absorb Plus, I barely lost any weight (I usually start losing weight right away when I am having a flare), my energy level stayed consistent and I actually kept up my exercise program...

"I was diagnosed with indeterminate ulcerative colitis over 10 years ago. I have been on 5-ASA drugs (currently Asacol) for all of these years. My flare-ups have become more frequent lately. After my last colonoscopy, my GI Doc tried to talk me into taking steroids. This was not an option for me.

I had read Jini's books "Listen to Your Gut" and "The IBD Remission Diet" so, instead of steroids I decided to follow Jini's advice and promptly began drinking Absorb Plus. I drank the shakes for 2 weeks before I started eating solid food again. The transition from the Absorb Plus to food again was so easy.

It was amazing. During the 2 weeks on Absorb Plus, I barely lost any weight (I usually start losing weight right away when I am having a flare), my energy level stayed consistent and I actually kept up my exercise program. It's pretty easy to stay on the diet since the shakes are just so good. I spoke with my Doctor about drinking Absorb Plus instead of steroids, and he was all for it.

I still continue to have flare-ups now and then, but I am so relieved after all these years to have a very good source of nourishment to get me back on the right track. Thank you so much for sharing Absorb Plus with those that need it!"

My son was diagnosed with Crohn's last summer - at 14 years old he weighed only 75 lbs. He was started on high doses of steroids, along with Pentasa...

"My son was diagnosed with Crohn's last summer - at 14 years old he weighed only 75 lbs. He was started on high doses of steroids, along with Pentasa. Since this was a completely new disease to us and we knew virtually nothing, we did everything the pediatric specialist said. It soon became quite apparent this was not working - he still had no appetite, no energy, and couldn't gain any weight.

On the same day we came home from a Dr. appt. where the Dr. said "diet has absolutely nothing to do with Crohn's", and the only thing he could do was increase his medicine (he already was taking 15 pills a day), your wonderful book, "The IBD Remission Diet" and the Absorb Plus Shakes were on my back porch - I'm convinced it was an omen. Almost immediately after starting the shakes, my husband and I noticed a change in him - he lost the dark circles under his eyes, he lost the pale color, he sleeps like a baby, he has so much energy (he is actually acting like a teenage boy should), his appetite is almost normal, and he has gained almost 5 pounds in a month. I love how nutritionally complete they are, too - he is deficient in many vitamins and minerals, and I feel confident that he is getting them from these shakes since they are so easily absorbed. I can't thank you enough - I tell everybody about you! Keep up the good work!"

I went on the shakes for about a month, and during the course of the month, felt my symptoms vanish...

I found out in May that I suffered from mild Crohn's disease after a couple of fun trips to the emergency room. Regardless, my gastro doctor decided that the best way to treat the Crohn's was with a regimine of fifteen pentasa, five pills three times a day. Now, while pentasa is not a full blown steroid, it is still a steroid, and he indicated this would be the best dosage for 'maintenance' of my condition.

"Well, after a few subtle diet changes, I was able to get the Crohn's to a reasonable state, and even tried the pentasa for a couple of weeks. I hated the fact that I was on these pills! At any rate, I did some internet research on Crohn's and stumbled across Jini Patel's IBD books, listen to your gut and the IBD remission diet. I decided I did not want to go the expensive route and try the custom shakes, and headed to absorbplus.com through her recommendation.

I went on the shakes for about a month, and during the course of the month, felt my symptoms vanish. I also added UDO's choice oil to the regimen, which is some good magic on it's own!"

I found the excerpts from Jini's books online and I immediately went out and bought the books. What she said made so much sense...

"I found the excerpts from Jini's books online and I immediately went out and bought the books. What she said made so much sense. I have also emailed her and gotten a response since I ordered a bunch of Absorb Plus from you a month ago.

As I was telling her in my letter to her that I was in a very similar situation as she was when I was diagnosed with Crohn's 5 years ago. I had two children ages 2 and 3 and no family in the city, plus we had just bought a house in a new neighbourhood and I didn't have a support structure to help out. Anyhow, needless to say, it was very difficult to go through all the symptoms of severe pain, losing weight, etc. I tried the "naturopath route" for a year and a half and didn't listen to the traditional doctors because I thought I could heal myself through all the "natural remedies" and acupuncture, etc. However, that did not happen, and in fact I was down to 87 lbs. and when I finally went back to the Gastroenterologist he ordered surgery within a week.

Now, I haven't had problems until a few months ago when I had a severe Crohn's attack. I did not want to get back into taking the steroids, thinking about surgery, etc. Thankfully I found out about Jini's books and Absorb Plus. I immediately did a one week cleanse and took nothing but the Absorb Plus with a few added vitamins and flax oil. I felt so good. No one had ever suggested do a "bowel rest" (at least not with being able to drink anything as healthy as the Absorb Plus). I normally have absolutely NO willpower because I love food and especially sweets. I did stick to it and was proud of myself for even doing it for a week. I had energy and I didn't feel hungry during that week. I also have done "mini cleanses" for 2 or 3 days at a time when I've gone "overboard" on my food over a holiday weekend or something.

My good friend was also diagnosed with Crohn's just weeks ago and I got her onto the books and the Absorb Plus as well. Now we're both so glad we have something to fall back on if we do have any "attacks" or whatever and instead of immediately going back on drugs, etc. we will follow Jini's recommended diets, along with the Absorb Plus diet for a while. Thank you so much and thanks to Jini. We will keep you posted!"

I am back to 170 lbs. This is the closest I have been to my high school weight since my diagnosis!...

"I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 1985. I weighed 175lbs before the onset of Crohn's. After a couple of stays in the hospital, I got down to my lowest weight of 130 lbs. Since that time, it has been a struggle to put weight on and stay healthy. After resection surgery 2 years ago my weight and health spiraled down once again. We received an e-mail from J. Patel last fall (my wife had read her IBD Remission Diet book). My wife Eileen, suggested I try it since it was an all natural formula created by this author who suffered from Crohn's herself. Absorb Plus is the only product that suits my physical conditions and has allowed me to get back to 170 lbs. This is the closest I have been to my high school weight since my diagnosis! I have tried many different diets and vitamin formulas throughout the years. Absorb Plus is the only one that has made a significant contribution to my overall well being! I appreciate that greatly. Thank you very much for developing this product."

I battled Crohn's disease for 2 years. During that time I was hospitalized six times, lost 30 pounds, and became a shadow of who I had been...

"I battled Crohn's disease for 2 years. During that time I was hospitalized six times, lost 30 pounds, and became a shadow of who I had been. Trips to the bathroom were frequent, bloody, and painful. I was taking so much medication I was swallowing 20 pills a day. I became depressed and started to lose hope that I would ever lead a normal life again.

I started drinking Absorb Plus about six months ago after reading The IBD Remission Diet. It was the only nourishment my body seemed willing to accept. I drank 3-4 shakes a day, gradually went off all my meds, and began to absorb more food as my colon healed. After six months of shakes I am finally myself again. I regained the weight I had lost, am bursting with energy, and I'm laughing again. I still drink Absorb Plus as a morning shake because I love the taste and it's a great way to start the day."

I have more energy now and my doctor as well as friends have commented that I have a lot more colour in my face...

"I was diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis a year ago and have lost 2.5 stone in weight since then. I was 8 stone and went down to 5.5 stone at 5 ft 3". It hurt too much to eat and what I did eat was pureed vegetables and rice that contain hardly any calories. So as you can imagine, I wasn't putting any weight on.

I tried other protein drinks, some were awful in taste and others contained too much sugar and artificial preservatives and flavourings. Nevertheless I persevered but just did not gain any weight.

I first heard of the Absorb Plus shakes in The IBD Remission Diet book. Since I began consuming the shakes I put on half a stone so am up to 6 stone now. I have more energy now and my doctor as well as friends have commented that I have a lot more colour in my face.

I have recently had another flair up and so am going on the elemental diet knowing that I won't lose any weight this time.

Thank you so much, I don't know what I would have done if I had not found this product. UC sufferers have a lot of worries, one being weight loss and malnutrition and I'm sure a lot of people would agree that it is one less worry for them.

Also I am going on holiday soon and will be carrying the shakes with me....and will be annoying the stewards on the flight as I'll need to mix my shakes in their work area!"

After reading Ms. Patel-Thompson's books and experimenting, I have experienced good success using Absorb Plus as a complete food replacement and as an alternative to fasting to give my intestine a rest while still feeding myself...

"Now 45 years old, I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 1980. Apart from the first 30 days after diagnosis in 1980, I have remained drug-free. have never had surgery. The disease has manifested itself as a series of very small strictures (2mm in some cases) in my small intestine. These obstructions, along with mal-absorption of protein, calcium, iron and other nutrients have caused much suffering in the form of intestinal pain, gas, weightlessness, fatigue, edema and mood-swings. With some difficulty, and with patience from family, friends and employer, I have been able to lead a relatively normal life resulting in a career, marriage and young family. Knowledge of my own body and its needs along with strict adherence to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet by Elaine Gotchall for over a decade are the two most important aspects of maintaining my relatively normal life. In addition, rest, flexible work schedule and awareness of stress play an important role. Small things like wearing clothes without a waistband and lying down on my right or left side for 10 minutes (the choice of side depends on how I feel) actually make the difference between functioning in society or withdrawing in pain and suffering.

One tool (weapon) I use is to fast for a day or two when my intestine gets blocked and I can't unblock it. This of course leads to malnutrition and weightlessness and is not a way to achieve long-term improvement however it lets me survive in the short-term. After reading Ms. Patel-Thompson's books and experimenting, I have experienced good success using Absorb Plus as a complete food replacement and as an alternative to fasting to give my intestine a rest while still feeding myself. The results have been good, even with some weight gain. I use twice the amount of liquid recommended in the form of 50/50 rice milk and water mixed with Absorb Plus so that I maintain a good liquid intake."

I can't thank you enough... my cholesterol dropped from 210 to 139, my triglyceride numbers from over 200 to 80 and I got my blood pressure under control...

I'm 51 years old, and was diagnosed with IBD approximately 5 years ago. I also had a minor heart attack approximately 6 years ago. I had a stent put in my right coronary artery. Luckily, I had little to no heart damage. I have had high blood pressure for years controlled with prescription drugs. I've also had high cholesterol and high triglyceride numbers. No matter what I've done, I haven't been able to lower these numbers.

I haven't had dairy in years due to lactose intolerance, and watch everything that I eat. All of the above at least seems to be genetic. I've never smoked, don't drink coffee and have had no alcohol for years. Many in my family have had similar health problems. My father died at the age of 50, and he was a physician. In spite of the above, I'm in excellent physical shape and certainly look quite healthy. I work out regularly and, as I said ,eat right, but again I thought it must be my genes.

My IBD had finally been under control as a result of using some of the suggestions in Jini's first book (Listen To Your Gut) that I'd purchased a year and a half ago. Those suggestions are the use of L-Glutamine, NAG and a carefully controlled diet along with the physician prescribed drug Colazal. Colazal had not worked as a sole remedy for a few years.

In August of this year, I had a terrible flare up that I could not get under control. I bled excessively and could not figure out what I'd done differently. Prednisone seemed the only answer, but I'd had some bad side effects from it in the past. My regular regime of L-Glutamine and Colazal was not working. I checked your web site and purchased Jini's new book, The IBD Remission Diet on different diets and decided that the predigested food diet was my last option before going back to prednisone.

I purchased your chocolate Absorb pre-digested food shakes, and for the next six and a half weeks basically had four drinks, some clear broths and some organic clear juices along with NAG, L-Glutamine, vitamins and Udos oil on a daily basis. I also stopped taking my cholesterol lowering medicine, because I could not believe that this diet wouldn't have some sort of positive effect on these numbers.

Over a six week period, I had two blood tests and found that my cholesterol numbers dropped from approximately 210 down to 139. My triglyceride numbers dropped from over 200 to 80. I also lost about 22 pounds. I was only trying for 10, as I've been trying to drop that ten for a year or more. The blood flow had lessened, but was still coming after six and a half weeks, but the lipid and triglyceride numbers were astounding. I'd also cut my high blood pressure medicine to the lowest dosage given of Procardia, finding this to be enough to keep my pressure under control.

Again, the blood flow had lessened but not stopped, so I checked with my very open minded gastroenteologist at this point. He deduced that my internist had, in giving me amoxicillin three months before for what he thought was a bronchial infection, inadvertently messed up the bacterial flora in my colon. This allowed some harmful bacteria to take over, giving me antibiotic caused colitis. This also aggravated my regular colitis problem. He put me on Flagyl for one week. Flagyl is an antibiotic specific for my bad intestinal bacteria. He then started me on probiotics to replace the good intestinal bacteria. This last step of probiotic introduction is also the next step in Jini's book for healing my problem.

I currently, on a daily basis, eat two regular meals, based upon the reintroduction diet from Jini's books, an Absorb shake for breakfast, Udos oil, NAG, L-Glutamine, vitamins, probiotics, Colazal and lots of filtered or bottled water. It is now about three and a half weeks into the probiotic program. I've been on Jini's food reintroduction program for about the same amount of time. I'm not seeing any blood as of about three days ago. I'm 5'10" tall and my weight has stabilized at 172. That's my college gymnastics competition weight. I get another blood test in about two weeks to see if my cholesterol and triglycerides have remained low.

The combination of all of the above was extremely well worth the effort. I'm convinced that had I known to take only the Flagyl, I wouldn't be on the road to having my colitis under the control that it currently is. The unexpected cholesterol, triglyceride, blood pressure and weight loss results were amazing . In my estimation, this whole program was easily better and less destructive than the use of steroids to my traumatized system.

"As I said, I still have a chocolate Absorb shake for breakfast. It's my favorite flavor. I find them most satisfying and filling. I just reordered enough for the next few months. My internist was so impressed by the Absorb product and probiotic program that he has suggested this regimen to some of his other patients.

I can't thank you enough for your products, your research and your supportive books. If I may be of any help to another person with this problem in any way, please feel free to contact me. I know how frustrating this process and the problem can be. You have to be patient, but this program works!"

Through divine intervention I was introduced to Ms. Patel Thompson's book and Absorb Plus! My life changed from then on...

"I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis 10 years ago, I was 27 at the time and the specialist asked me if I had a good health plan because I was going to need it. Stunned and uninformed and refusing to go the "drug" method I began the journey of naturopaths, homoeopaths and trial and error. I submitted to drug therapy within 18 months, in an emergency room as I lay in the bed in tremendous pain and bleeding with no control, I felt I had no choice. Asacol was my constant companion.

I work in the film industry, 16 hour days and heavy stress load for months on end have finally taken its toll, by this last April my body couldn't hold its self together anymore and I was bleeding non-stop, with massive cramping and pain when I ate something. With a life style change ahead of me I knew I had to do something fast, I was on 8 Asacol a day and the bleeding was getting worse, I was afraid to go back to the doctors because of the Steroid threat. Through divine intervention I was introduced to Ms. Patel Thompson's book and Absorb Plus! My life changed from then on, drinking 3 shakes a day, with no other food I continued the diet faithfully. Within 6 weeks I stopped bleeding, after a year of bleeding! I'm now on 2 Asacol a day and I haven't bled since, I tell everyone about Absorb Plus, health food stores, naturopaths, homeopaths basically anyone who is interested in helping those of us with IBD. Absorb Plus saved my life! I now have the energy, wellness and the confidence which has been provided by knowing there is truly an alternative to "drug therapy" has brought me a tremendous peace of mind, Absorb Plus will be a part of my life forever, my partner and I are currently trying to start a family and Absorb Plus has given me the confidence to pursue our dream."

Following the recommendations of Jini Patel Thompson's book, "The IBD Remission Diet", I decided to undertake a six-week elemental diet using Absorb Plus. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease when I was 11 years old...

"Following the recommendations of Jini Patel-Thompson's book, "The IBD Remission Diet", I decided to undertake a six-week elemental diet using Absorb Plus. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease when I was 11 years old (I'm 27 now) and had managed to control the disease fairly well on my own, with minimal medical intervention, until a couple of years ago. Then, in 2002, I developed a dermatological complication called pyoderma gangrenosum, which resulted in erupting welts on my legs that were so painful, I couldn't even stand up. I was put on Prednisone, and other immuno-suppressants, to control the skin lesions. I have tried several times to wean myself off Prednisone, but my body is now pretty dependant on it, and I would experience nasty flare ups, both in my gut and on my legs.

I have been reluctant in the past to try elemental diets, not only because they seemed difficult to maintain, but because the quality of the products seemed very poor. Most mass-market elemental shakes contain high-fructose corn syrup and other unhealthy ingredients, and they taste awful. I am happy to say that I have been consuming Absorb Plus exclusively for 5 weeks now, with plans to start re-introducing solid food in a week's time. I won't say that it's been entirely easy, but I find Absorb Plus to be delicious (I mix half Vanilla, half Chocolate) and I am confident that I am getting good nutrition from a quality source. I continue to wean myself off Prednisone, and am looking forward to being drug free very soon. Absorb Plus has been an invaluable tool in my ongoing quest for good health."

During the course of the diet I never felt hungry, enjoyed the taste of the shakes and was full of energy. I was able to put on and maintain needed weight and was amazed how little self-discipline it took to stay on the diet...

"After being diagnosed one and a half years ago with indeterminate ulcerative colitis, I tried the full range of conventional 5-ASA drugs (salofalk, asacol, pentasa) but experienced no improvement at all. In fact, some of the drugs worsened my condition. I also tried a number of natural therapies, including restrictive diets such as the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, a wide range of supplements, and bodywork therapies, all of which helped me somewhat, but which I felt did not go far enough toward getting the disease under control.

I decided to try The IBD Remission Diet using Absorb Plus after the onset of a sudden, nasty flare that also resulted in painful swellings on my legs called erythema nodosum that made it difficult for me to walk.

I learned about The IBD Remission Diet after having read Jini Patel Thompson's Listen To Your Gut. Although initially I felt skeptical about my ability to stay on a completely liquid diet for any length of time, I decided that it seemed like a much better - and safer - option than the ones my G.I. was offering in the form of steroids and immuno-suppressive drugs.

I followed the diet for two and a half weeks then tapered off the shakes gradually over the course of another one and a half weeks. Within three days of beginning the diet my erythema nodosum began to disappear, and although one does experience some "urgency" as a result of this diet being all liquid - the nearly intolerable urgency I had been experiencing beforehand went away as well. During the course of the diet I never felt hungry, enjoyed the taste of the shakes and was full of energy. I was able to put on and maintain needed weight and was amazed how little self-discipline it took to stay on the diet. I actually found I enjoyed the break from planning menus, shopping, cooking and cleaning up!

Within the first week of returning to solid food I experienced the first solid bowel movements I had had in almost a year. My digestion was quiet and painless and food was properly broken down. My energy levels stayed up and my weight has stayed on.

The IBD Remission Diet has been a dramatic, positive step forward in what I see as an ongoing healing process. Although I may experience flares again in the future, the fear factor is almost gone now that I know I have a powerful tool for managing them that will not cause horrible side effects or damage my immune system. I still consume the shakes on a regular basis, mainly for health and nutritional reasons, but also because I really enjoy them. I would highly recommend this diet for anyone with gastro-intestinal problems or anyone seeking a balanced, natural approach to long-term health."

After following The IBD Remission Diet, my digestion has vastly improved and I have had no blockages at all...

"Having recently undergone the second of two major surgeries for severe ulcerative colitis, I decided to follow The IBD Remission Diet for two weeks with the goal of restoring balance to my gut, losing some weight, and generally "detoxifying" my system.

Absorb Plus is a terrific product and I felt great the whole time I was taking it. The immediate outcome was a reduction in my cravings for caffeine and other stimulants, a huge boost in energy levels, and the loss of an unwanted 12 lbs, which has stayed off. Since my surgeries, I have been prone to painful blockages. After following The IBD Remission Diet, my digestion has vastly improved and I have had no blockages at all. This has led me to question whether my surgeries might even have been averted had this elemental diet product and program been available to me earlier."

I thank God for Jini and her diet. I would recommend the diet to anyone who is having similar issues. The diet is the best thing that happened to my health in the last 20 years...

I have been suffering from chronic constipation, heartburn for the last 20 years. No bowel movements without the help of laxatives. I had food allergies of all kinds that I was only eating vegetables. i was losing weight and going unhealthy. So I read the IBD remission diet and decided to give it a try.I implemented the diet for 8 weeks. I started Feb 22, 2012 and ended April 17, 2012. Its been 10 days but I can see that the heartburn or acidity is completely gone. I am having bowel movements without the help of laxatives. when I started the diet I was only 119.8 pounds, end of the diet I was 130.2 pounds!!!

I was always cold, that is gone. My craving for sweet is gone. My energy level has gone up. I couldn't exercise before because of chronic fatigue but during the diet which is the 11th day into the diet I started exercising and now I am continuously going to 24 hour fitness, gaining some muscles :). I don't feel bloated or have any gas issues now.

I did the wild oregano oil protocol during the diet. I am sure that killed a lot of bad bacteria, which I could feel in my body. I know a major healing has taken place. now I need to maintain it.

Thanks a million to Jini. Now I know why God led Jini through Crohn's, so she could develop a diet for her and millions who is suffering of various ailments. I am still looking into EFT to make sure it doesn't have any conflict with my faith. I might have to continue a semi elemental diet for a long time. the only thing that is bothering me presently is sinus or allergy problems. I couldn't see an improvement for that.

I thank God for Jini and her diet. I would recommend the diet to anyone who is having similar issues. The diet is the best thing that happened to my health in the last 20 years. I hope Jini would be able to develop a completely dairy free diet.

My daughter had her colonoscopy a week ago and the doctor was surprised that she is clear...

I would like to tell you that I have recommended the book to at least fifteen people and have helped many others with their journey too.

My daughter had her colonoscopy a week ago and the doctor was surprised that she is clear. When I admitted to him that we have stopped all medication and started on Jini's protocols he was horrified and suggested that what I have done is similar to witchcraft!

After four weeks on Absorb Plus, taking mucosaheal , oregano oil and aloe vera he has been feeling the best he has felt in a year...

My husband has had crohns for ten years controlled with Asacol until this past year when he was experiencing increased symptoms. He was feeling so unwell and felt that his medication was even making it worse. When I found Jini Patels site on the internet he was very skeptical but after much persausion he decided to give it a try.

After four weeks on Absorb Plus, taking mucosaheal , oregano oil and aloe vera he has been feeling the best he has felt in a year. He is not taking any Asacol at the present time, eating a fairly normal diet with the exception of dairy and wheat which we plan on introducing a little later. He still has a little soreness in his lower abdomen but no cramps, explosive BM's, nausea etc. that he had before. He was able to gain back the weight he had lost.

We were very sorry to get no support from our gastroenterologist or family doctor who did not want to hear anything we had to say about an elemental diet even though he is feeling so much better. We have been seeing a naturopath who is helping us and is more supportive. My husband still takes a shake every so often between meals, he uses the no sugar added shake because he is Type 11 diabetic controlled with diet, it never did raise his sugar very high. So thank you Jini for this program it really helped my husband ! Giving the gut a rest and time to heal was exactly what he needed and he would do it again if necessary.

I've loved both books from you. Found that drinking fluids you recommended & eating VERY lightly a couple days, while using the Probiotic & taking PLENTY of Vitamin C, followed by drinking lots of water, exercising by walking & also employing the sort of "Wurn" technique you demonstrate in videos, has really helped me a lot. Probably 50% better. Thank you.

I followed the diet on page 166 having four shakes per day for six weeks, gradually adding food the next few weeks. I still have at least one shake per day. In fact, I look forward to one every morning for breakfast. And it is so easy to make.

What I found helpful in preparing the shakes was to scoop the flavors into one dozen 1/2 pint jars, then empty the capsules, CoQ10 etc. into each jar (only the dry ingredients), put the lids on, ready for emptying into a larger container when mixing with water and Udo oil. That way I didn't have to measure everything each time I wanted a shake. I had three days of 4 shakes each day mostly ready. Just needed to add oil and water!

After eight weeks of mostly the shakes, I was afraid to introduce much food for fear I would regress.

The MetaCleanse has been great in stabilizing bowl movements. I am now back on a very healthy diet. I have gained the weight back (had gone down to 97 pounds) and I feel terrific. Thanks so much Jini for your Listen to Your Gut program! The Gastroenterologist had told me I would be on drugs for the Lymphocytic Colitis the rest of my life. I have heard that the body is created to heal and I did not give up. Thank you Jini!

I am absolutely thrilled with everything I learned from your book! From battling a hard case of Ulcerative Colitis, I was at my ropes end and needed to find a new approach! I managed to maintain a Elemental Diet for 5 and a half weeks and introduced Wild Oregano Oil, as well as flax oil into my lifestyle.

I managed to maintain a Elemental Diet for 5 and a half weeks and introduced Wild Oregano Oil, as well as flax oil into my lifestyle. I have adopted a much healthier lifestyle since taking an interest in everything you have had to say. Clean eating is a part of my daily life. Gluten/Dairy free has always been a part of my regular regime but now I have fully cut out processed junk!!

I cannot thank you enough for opening up my eyes to the fact that mainstream medicine is not the only way to approach health conditions!! I absolutely love when people refer to me as a hippie when I suggest Wild Oregano Oil or some other tricks I've learned from you!!

I have only had one flare up in the last few months. I am completely off prednisone. And hoping to come off Asacol soon!! I do regular healing enemas and am thrilled!!!

I am only sorry that I didn't get your book sooner. It gave me a plan to follow that people could get better without drugs. We are just so brainwashed! If you are sick, go to the hospital. The Drs. will fix you.

I am only sorry that I didn't get your book sooner. It gave me a plan to follow that people could get better without drugs. We are just so brainwashed! If you are sick, go to the hospital. The Drs. will fix you. Two months ago, my son was told he needed surgery to live. He refused surgery. He is now on some drugs, but seems to be getting better, even as we wean his medication down. He is much more cheerful and has pink back in his cheeks. Without your informative book, we would have had no idea that other options were available. A few days ago I made a soup with home raised meat(goat). Without thinking, I added a good handful of dandelion roots, plus kale, onions, carrots, turnip, Greek oregano and thyme. You seemed to make such a big deal about your soups, so I gave him about half a cup. It seemed to really help kick start some healing system(liver, gallbladder?). Even just the hot drink was helpful, but I didn't realize how helpful the cooked out nutrients from so few vegetables could be. Thank you so much for your outgoing concern.

Well, I'm going to give you an overview of my success, I have read all of your books and zeroed in on what I thought were my issues- lack of peristalsis, constipation, rectal strictures and anal fissures and the unbearable pain that went with it and am now having some success.

Well, I'm going to give you an overview of my success, I have read all of your books and zeroed in on what I thought were my issues- lack of peristalsis, constipation, rectal strictures and anal fissures and the unbearable pain that went with it and am now having some success.

Because of limited funds, I had to order progressively and determined that I needed to change my diet and add lots of water, I am eating a gluten free diet, I added aloe vera juice, oil of oregano,L-glutamine, mucosa heal, fissureheal suppositories, comfrey cream, then your absorb plus, which I combined with my own protein drink, with pro-biotics, lots of butter, CALM and potassium citrate in am, and Magnesium oxide @ night and sent for DMSO, SSKI, colloid silver, cocoa butter and have been making my own suppositories for stricture heal and hemorrhoids (I have found that the FAT straws work best.) also EFT, Reiki and myofascial release massage, your meditation CD'sfor stenosis and spasms and chakra meditations have also helped.

I have been using an elevated toilet seat and a stool to rest my feet on when I have a bowel movement with success.... who knew all of these things plus a desire to get better has begun to make a difference. I will continue to follow this protocol consistently for continued results. I am a nurse by profession and have been using my intuition to guide me through all. While it is late in the process, I plan to make the bone broths as well.

Thank you very much for all of your information.... despite 2 GI docs, no remedy had helped so I am most grateful!

Book is excellent, best info I ever got. You put a lot of time into it. It must help many peoples out there.

Book is excellent, best info I ever got. You put a lot of time into it. It must help many peoples out there. One info really help me from somebody else comments ( patients with Crohns are sensitive to much of Vitamin C. ) I was taking 600 to 1200 mg of Vitamin C a day as to reduce an inflamation for last 2 years ( on and off) I had a liquidy stool after that. I thought it was because of my internal fistulas. So when I stopped using high doses of Vit C my stool formation went back to normal. I am in remission now mostly of my food selection ( I found what trigger my flare ups ) Now I can continue work on my projects. So I will get back into reading some more and set up some maintenance diet latter in this year. Thank you.

Your guide book was very helpful. My son was having intestinal issues and I was able to get him back to health quickly! I'm fairly certain that he does not have IBD, but I also know that he had not been getting proper nutrition. Your information helped me make the dietary changes we both needed in order to get healthy and hopefully prevent the development of any serious disease!

Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into creating the IBD ebook and all the other materials you have researched to help the many people that visit your site. I find the book very informative and enjoyed it and will use it frequently. Thank you.

I have been reading your work for about one year. I purchased the "Listen To Your Gut" book (the big book), read the Natural Treatments book, downloaded the IBD Remission Diet book, had it printed and bound and I am just beginning to read that. Tried the Absorb Plus samples you sent - thank you very much - it works well in my body.

For about 1 year I have been on Remecaid, because it was the best choice after an initial dx of crohn's by the doctors in May of 2016, after 5months of LOA from work and many tests. In desperation I was willing to try the Remecaid, avoiding the threat of a 'double surgery' colostomy (No!!!). I have another small complication I do not want to discuss here, but the Remecaid has helped me function and I have finally begun to gain back almost all of the 20-24 lbs. I lost last year (normal weight 126; went down to about 102, maybe lower, at my worst last year). Now I am up to about 120!!! Thank God! Last year I told my GI doctor about you and the Wild Oregano Protocol and they asked if I was doing it already. I said no, (I was just beginning the research), but that I wanted to move in the direction of a more natural healing plan that had the potential to heal me, not just maintain "for the rest of my life", and that I would definitely confer with them before I started any new program.

I am 71 years young and was in excellent shape,working 40 hours a week at a job/vocation I enjoyed (but stressful on deeper levels I was not aware of), also working on a Masters Degree part time and halfway through the program when my body came to a huge halt in January 2016: I am now retired and let go of my school work in order to pursue my healing very pro-actively, and also in the process of major detoxifying of my apartment. Although I started out in good physical condition, I am more senior than most I've read about and am concerned about switching over to natural track - I have more research and reading to do but taking small steps in preparation. I appreciate your emails and this is the first time I have shared any of my story.

I am an Indian. I tried your remission Diet and follow the steps of a healthy gut. With in four weeks I got extremely unexpectable results. No stomachache, no cramps and less blood lose in stool...but there is a problem with me, my age is 35 years and weight 35kg. So I could not try only liquid diet so I tried semi solid with liquid diet. Also took chia seeds, flax seed, aloe Vera juice and two more things one is bee propolis and another is forever lite ultra. the results is no weight loss and the energy level is not decrease.....In a nut shell I would like to say its amazing.

I’d like to give you an update on my husbands progress. It’s hard to believe, but he definitely turned a corner last week and we are seeing some huge improvements! Bloating, gas, and cramps have all ceased and, after several weeks on the IBD Remission Diet, he is finally eating foods comfortably. Even having some normal bowel movements (which is something he never thought he’d see!).

I would like to share some of the things that have helped Tom make such great progress:

– Moving very very slowly in introducing new foods, eating more fish than ever as it seems easier to digest.

– Continuing Jini’s Wild Oregano Oil Protocol, and taking Natren Probiotics three times per day. Also did the retention enema.

– George’s Aloe Vera, along with all supplements recommended at LTYG

– Nightly abdominal massage along with reflexology on his feet (this has made a huge difference in gas/bloating)

After 35 years of trying to manage Crohn’s Disease, we have never seen such an improvement in my husbands health. Words cannot express our appreciation for all that you have done to make this possible. Thank you for the support and methods and tools available through LTYG. God bless you all!

Your IBD remission diet book was so instrumental and encouraging for my healing process.

I have completed the elemental diet, doing great, still continuing with the stricture healing protocol- I actually could feel a strong pinch on my side when I was first diagnosed with the intestinal stricture, now my pinch is a slight pinch- seems that the stricture is softened or possibly being dissolved.

I truly appreciate your blog and all the positiveness you share with us.

I am more than happy to give you feedback on Listen to Your Gut - the book that, I believe, saved my husband's life.

I am more than happy to give you feedback on Listen to Your Gut - the book that, I believe, saved my husband's life. After 35 years of trying to manage Crohn’s Disease nutritionally (without medication), my husband’s body was giving out. From 2002 through 2016 he had been on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, experiencing some relief along with flare ups and a few partial bowel obstructions. Strictures from an original bowel resection back in '82 finally brought us to a crossroads in January/2017. We knew how seriously ill my husband was when he lost more than 25 lbs. He was becoming weak and lethargic. I read both books, Listen to Your Gut and the IBD Remission Diet, in order to learn everything, I needed to know about Jini's protocol. Some days I felt I was on overload as I cared for my sick husband while formulating a supplement schedule to follow. (I'm attaching a copy of my schedules for you to see.)

He began the IBD Remission Diet with a partial Elemental Diet for 4 weeks (the only food he ate was chopped chicken, fish, applesauce, and squash). During this time we slowly introduced all the recommended supplements. By the week 4, he was ready to go full elemental, consuming 6 Absorb Plus shakes per day. He felt good. No cramps, gas, or bloating. His bowels were loose, but we understood that was part of being on a liquid diet. All of his life he has been unable to take supplements, but now he was tolerating Calcium Ascorbate, Quercitin, Grapeseed Extract, Vit. E, Vit. D, Natren probiotics, Joy of the Mountain oil of oregano, George's Aloe Vera Juice... and everything worked very well! We were excited and hopeful for the future. I referred back to both books on a daily basis, constantly refreshing my knowledge of what to look for and what to do if we hit a snag. And we did hit a few snags and had some setbacks. I "chatted" online with Cris at LTYG.com, and even phoned in on more than one occasion. Always, I received encouragement and the assurance that we were not alone in this journey! At Jini's suggestion my husband began having Cranial Sacral Therapy and also NAET Allergy Testing. He also does nightly castor oil packs over his stricture area and I perform abdominal massage along with some reflexology. This definitely seems to be softening the stricture and helping things to pass. He has also benefited from Hemmorheal - wow, that worked almost immediately and he was so grateful! But most important, he has been working through some deep emotional issues that he feels sure has contributed to the disease process all these years. That perhaps has been the hardest part of this recovery, but a necessary part all the same. All I can say is that much, much prayer has gone into everything we are doing, and the results speak for themselves.

I would say the only difficulty my husband is having right now is that he has not gained any weight back. Unfortunately, he no longer seems able to tolerate Absorb Plus, which is puzzling because he was on one shake a day for the last two years, and then 4-6 shakes during the Elemental Diet phase. We are wondering if he built up an intolerance to whey, because even when I switched over to Vital Whey, he experienced bloating and pain. Gaining weight back is our biggest challenge. He feels good, but just can't seem to gain weight. (We also tried Sun Warrior protein, but he reacted to that as well.)

I would like to share some of the things that have helped my husband make such great progress:– Moving very very slowly in introducing new foods, eating more fish than ever as it seems easier to digest.

– Continuing Jini’s Wild Oregano Oil Protocol, and taking Natren Probiiotics three times per day. Also did the retention enema.

– George’s Aloe Vera, along with all supplements recommended at LTYG

– Nightly abdominal massage along with reflexology on his feet (this has made a huge difference in gas/bloating)

– Nightly Castor oil packs (from stricture heal protocol) Words cannot adequately express our appreciation for all that Jini and the folks at LTYG have done to make my husband’s recovery possible. I truly don't know if he would be with us today if not for LTYG. Thank you for the support, methods, and suggestions available through LTYG.

IBD Remission Book is a wonderful resource to keep on your nightstand or just take with you on travels but it suits my needs to be able to refer to any day any time. I prefer a book to mark" and highlight" info that is useful for my needs. Jini writes with clarity, insight and gives me what I need to hear and then utilize so my digestion stays on track. Thank you.

Wow, excellent, magnificent book, I solved my leaky gut problem that gave me 15 years of bleeding in my stool, hospital in and out.

I had ulcerative colitis for 15 to 20 years then it lead to rheumatoid arthritis for 2 years. I discovered bone broth and other remedies in your book that gave me LIFE ON MY OWN TERMS back. What can I say about MD doctors they only know what they know.

A couple weeks before starting your healing regimen, I could not tolerate any food. Each time I ate, I would have terrible abdominal pain and swelling and/or the food would sit in my stomach until I threw it back up..

The protocols are doing well for me so far.

A couple weeks before starting your healing regimen, I could not tolerate any food. Each time I ate, I would have terrible abdominal pain and swelling and/or the food would sit in my stomach until I threw it back up.

So I looked into your protocol and made a game plan and bought your products. As the my "start date" of your regimen approached, my symptoms actually started to improve a bit and I was eating without many symptoms (which is typical-my symptoms typically wax and wane- very frustrating)

I completed 4 full weeks of the elemental shakes ONLY (no food) along with the wild oregano protocol with the high dose probiotics, also taking all your supplements.

I am on day 6 of food reintroduction and feeling well. No GI symptoms. But feeling very fatigued and can tell that my GI is much more challenged with the solid food. The shakes just went right through without me noticing but the food is causing audible bowel sounds, sometimes an "sour stomach" type of feeling but nothing like the quality of my IBD abdominal pain. So all in all, I feel well. I think I'm healing, but again, my symptoms were not extremely overt when I initially began the protocol. (And I can usually tolerate healthy organic vegetables anyway, which is all I've introduced so far).

So only time will tell! I'm very hopeful I'll only continue to feel better and better! I'm excited to start phase two with the probiotic enemas, as I believe that will really produce great healing.

Lastly, although I'm off the elemental diet, I've found myself craving the shakes still, simply because they are so delicious!! Absorb plus is really a great product! I appreciate you so much for developing that. Thank you!

"I was diagnosed in 1999 with mild to moderate Left sided Ulcerative Colitis and immediately started on the Asacol pills and Rowasa enemas..."

Hello Jini,

I've taken awhile to respond due to the need to truly assess my progress. I was diagnosed in 1999 with mild to moderate Left sided Ulcerative Colitis and immediately started on the Asacol pills and Rowasa enemas. I have flared off and on generally in relation to stress levels and dietary habits. My Gastroenterologist has always criticized me for stopping the Asacol during remissions. According to conventional medical predictions, I should have already developed colon cancer by now. They attribute this to taking the medication but I know its due to my diet. I have been vegetarian since 1995 but not fully organic until this year. I was already experiencing trouble after my colonoscopy in late August of 2016 then I lost my husband to lung cancer in March this year so my stress levels have spiked dealing with the after math. I knew that my Dr would want to try something stronger like steroids this time so I started researching for myself. So glad I found your YouTube video during my search for relief.

I appreciate all the wonderful information laid out in the IBD Remission Diet. The first thing I did was wean off the Asacol but I was not able to take off work. Fortunately, I am able to work from home at least 3 days a week so that really helped. I could not afford to do the elemental shakes so I relied on vegetable juices and soups. That worked fine. I had some mild bleeding which I now know was also due to internal hemorrhoids. I started slowly with the Probiotics and quickly stepped up to full doses. I am now taking Healthy Trinity and have already noticed: less pain during BM and less cramping overall, less urgency, Down from 12 bathroom trips a day to 4. So grateful you shared the knowledge about the quality of the Natren brand. The mucosaheal and Georges Aloe Vera along with the healing enemas have also made a big difference. I also took the Wild Oregano Oil for a couple of weeks. I know I'm on the right track now and will be concentrating on keeping my diet clean and building up my gut bacteria.

I had to write to express my deepest gratitude for your dedication to helping those find healing for their digestive symptoms...

I had to write to express my deepest gratitude for your dedication to helping those find healing for their digestive symptoms.

I must say I have learned more from your site than I have after spending the last 20 months of doctor and specialist visits, numerous ct scans and imaging tests and extensive blood work which produced no help at all.

I’m not functioning optimally yet but although it is slow I think I am making progress. All your products have been great and have delivered what you state.

I really appreciate how you offer other options and recipes for us less financially able which is very helpful.

Thank you again for caring enough to share your success with others to find hope for relief and hope for returning to a functioning adult.

Have had amazing success with this diet. It was very difficult consuming only liquids for awhile but where there is a will there is a way. I'm still taking mucosal heal, probiotics, and a few other things. This resource Jini Patel has created is an absolute miracle. It has provided me with confidence and a sense of control in my life. Having a resource like this to work on problems with IBD is life changing. Also her positive and empathetic videos are up lifting to

say the least. She has a sincere and realistic way of reaching others. I want to thank you for your hard work and amazing strength that led you to this resource.

Two years of hell. Work was almost impossible. Exercise? Not likely. I actually gained weight because I couldn’t do anything physical. Worst of all, I couldn’t play with my two beautiful little boys.

After trying what seemed like everything, I found you. I went on a 30-day elemental diet with Absorb+. After one week, I was feeling better. After that month, I was in what I’d describe as near-complete remission. My doctor was shocked (though she probably shouldn’t have been.)

Four months later, my symptoms still haven’t returned. I’ve been able to lose over 30 pounds. I can exercise and work. I spent last night running through the woods with my kids.

I’m not a religious person, but bless you and thank you. Keep doing your work, it is so important.

Jini healed herself of an 'incurable' disease (Crohn's) and has been drug and surgery-free for over 20 years. Her books sell in over 60 countries and she has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows sharing her message of hope.
